#pioneerlife#history The Old West receded so quickly from our experience that the pictures we took of it and the stories we wrote about it give only the faintest outline of its events and places, and of the people who participated in its opening and settlement. In this anthology of seventeen stories by Harry Chrisman several personalities appear from western history: trail drivers, settlers, women, cowboys, Indian fighters, trail blazers, artists, photographers, inventors and treasure-seekers. In the variety of their ex periences the reader gets a look into the con flicts and tragedies of the developing Amer ican west, and a sense of the good humor that characterized the people who settled there#hardcover
